| Hooray! We were thrilled to have Aunt Donna (5 months pregnant!!!:)) and Uncle Pete visit for Thanksgiving! We got to enjoy a delicious meal that really was a joint effort - turkey, stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes, sweet potato praline, gravy, cranberry sauce and a tart for dessert. All made from scratch...no short-cutting here! I don't know how we'd have done it with any fewer helpers in the kitchen. It was a blast, though. The whole weekend we had fun chatting, eating, talking about babies, playing with the kids and sharing stories of parenting as well as tips from our recent experiences. They got to witness our crazy life with a newborn as Ava was less than three months old. |

| Donna adding the finishing layer to our Thanksgiving dessert - a chocolate salted caramel tart. Looks like a little bit of Baby Cioni made the shot, too :) |
 |
| This baby took more time than the turkey! YUMMY!! |
 |
| Uncle Pete and Ava. Pete and Donna will be such wonderful parents! |
 |
| Showing Donna and Pete one of our tight swaddle pieces (though the bamboo swaddle blanket above is a favorite we showed them as well!). |
 |
| Walking through Old Town Square. We went into town for yummy food and some shopping. We got to show Donna and Pete some of our favorite baby products :) |
 |
| A hungry (or if looking at this shot - famished) Jameson. Can't wait for our pager to buzz so we can enjoy brunch at Snooze! |
 |
| Warm weather allowed for a walk and some court time across the street. |
 |
| In response to the many complaints I get about not showing enough of Ava...she's there too (sleeping-zzz). |
 |
| J's first exposure to kite flying. He thought it was pretty cool. Now we'll have to get a kite :) |
